Escape Los Angeles to this incredible getaway! Perched on a private bluff and surrounded by pristine nature and wildlife the airstream boasts infinite ocean views, quietness and style.

There really is no other airstream like this one. Stripped down and past its aluminum studs, it's been redesigned into a large studio with three large frameless glass panels that slide open to a huge cantilevered deck with unrivaled views of County Line beach, the Channel islands, Catalina and Deer creek canyon. Lounge in the thick wool rugs, drive down to surf one of Malibu's best beaches, have dinner at neptune's net or go hike Santa Monica's highest peak just behind the property. Enjoy incredible starry nights without any light pollution and try to spot the coyotes and deer in the early morning light.
IMPORTANT NOTE - There is a bathroom, with a perfectly clean toilet and shower and sinks BUT hot water can be tricky and only available once the sun has heated the tank. Please make showers quick as we have to manually truck each gallon of water up to the airstream.
There's a queen sized bed and another pull out sofa that can fit another person - bring your own sleeping bag for the 3rd wheel ;-). Kitchenette, fridge and separate bathroom with complete privacy and stunning views.

Circle x ranch, county line beach, matador beach, zuma as well as many other hikes are all less than 10mn away.
99% of cars will make it up the dirt road. Lowered sports cars will scrape.
There are two routes up to the airstream. The short one (not paved, you'll need an SUV) takes 7 minutes to the beach, the longer one (paved and gentle dirt road, all non lowered cars make it ok as long as you are a decent driver and know how to navigate ruts) takes about 11 minutes but is very scenic and beautiful.
If you are fearful of dirt roads, care immensely about your sports car, or are afraid of cliffs, skip this booking. For all other adventurers, I make it up with my prius without bottoming out no problem so don't fear.

It was the best airbnb experience. The place is just like on the photos. The view from the deck was awesome especially during the sunset and sunrise. Its the best place to spend the time together. Christian was very friendly and show us all possibilities of his modified airstream. We are absolutely recommend to stay here for a night or even several nights!

SashaOctober 2014

Awesome place. Price is pretty steep, but my wife and I splurged for our anniversary and felt it was worth the money. You have nearly total privacy and almost complete silence, the only exception being very, very loud motorcycles on PCH that are barely audible. The views of the ocean are incredible, and it was awesome watching the fog/clouds roll in and out below us in the morning and evening. Both nights had clear skies, so we were able to see the Milky Way and catch the front end of the Perseids meteor shower from the deck. The place is a tad bit different than the pictures show as of July 2016. There are only two large cushions on the deck (not four) in order to make space for a solar panel and battery that can be used to power electronic devices. The bed has a queen memory foam mattress, and was very comfy. There were a few cons, but we did not feel that they warranted a loss of a full 5 stars. First, we could not get the oven to work, so don't expect any cookies like in the pictures unless that is resolved (Christian admitted to us that he had never actually tried to use it). Given the cleanliness of the oven, it seems that no one has ever used it. Second, the weeds around the outhouse/shower were getting pretty overgrown and in need of trimming, especially at the stairs and at the sinks. Ask the hosts to specifically make sure the weeds are cut back before your stay. Third, and this is not really a con but just a result of the "camping" nature of the place, mice will try to eat your food at night, so stuff like nuts and crackers and bagged chips can't be left out on the counters (or in the oven), even if the glass doors are closed. All in all, we would love to stay here again. One of the most relaxing places my wife and I have ever been to. If you enjoy camping even a little bit, you will love this place.

JoshuaJuly 2016

Yes, it's like a dream!

ZackSeptember 2016

What can I say about this place? I have seen lots of awsome places in my travels but this place is at the top of the list. It's beautiful,quite and peaceful. It takes you to another place and time when life is special. I will definitely be back. Christian was great the place is clean and comfortable. Thanks for having such an awsome place and sharing it. Jeff

jeffDecember 2015

This place is amazing. Christian was very accommodating. It was a special experience we hope to return to.

JeffOctober 2015

It's simply the most magical experience and worth every penny. can't wait to be back.

Rachael August 2016

This is hands down the coolest place I have ever stayed at. The views are breathtaking it's Airstream meets Vogue Magazine! 5 stars isn't enough

JakeOctober 2016

We really enjoyed our stay. Would love to do it again. The mornings and evenings were surreal. The host was quick to answer any questions. Some little creatures, but hey your camping in their territory, so all good. Recommend a shower when you first arrive, water in the morning is pretty cold. We did have a white husky show up on the deck. The dog turned out to be friendly.

The Joshua Tree House is a two bed two bath 1949 hacienda located 10 minutes from the west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park in Joshua Tree, CA.
This is a place for dreamers to reset, reflect, and create. Designed with a 'slow' pace in mind, our hope is that you enjoy every part of your stay; from making local coffee by drip in the morning, choosing the perfect record to put on as the sun sets, or by relaxing in the hot tub surrounded by over 100 Joshua Trees and a starry night sky.

🌵Instagram: @thejoshuatreehouse #thejoshuatreehouse
If you can't find the dates that you're looking for, please take a look at our other listing - The Joshua Tree Casita:
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/10614974
Welcome to the Joshua Tree House! This hacienda was built in 1949, one year before the Joshua Tree Inn next door. With over 100 Joshua Trees on the property, the views from the house are magical. If you're up for it, sunrise on the front porch is incredible. We estimate that some of the larger Joshua Trees on the property are as old as our country!
This house is very close to downtown Joshua Tree with many shops and restaurants about a 10 minute walk from the house. This also means that some sound from the highway can be heard. If you're looking for a completely silent desert experience, we would recommend our other property: The Joshua Tree Casita (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/10614974)
There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms in the house, and works well for a group of friends, two couples, or small families. We can also set up an extra memory foam mattress in the hammock room (has privacy with pocket sliding doors) to accommodate groups of six.
While you're staying here, the house will be your private oasis. Feel free to explore the yard (we are on 1.25 acres). Also make sure to enjoy the Jacuzzi and incredible views from the front porch during your stay!
While we will not be at the house during your stay, feel free to contact us with any questions! We also have a lot of local recommendations to share. We send our guests an illustrated pdf before their stay with some of our favorite local spots!
For check-in, we'll give you a code to the lockbox to get the keys and you can arrive anytime after 3pm and check yourself in. Please put the keys back before checking-out at 11am.

Joshua Tree is a small community made up of musicians, artists, and explorers. In the village you will find locally owned and run restaurants, art galleries, music venues, and vintage shops.
There are many wonderful places to visit during your stay at the house including the Joshua Tree National Park, Pappy & Harriet's, the Integratron, Salvation Mountain, the Salton Sea, Noah Purifoy Outdoor Museum, Crossroads, BKB Ceramics, and la Copine (a delicious new french restaurant in the desert).
The village of Joshua Tree is walking distance from the house (about a 10 minute walk). Driving around the village is incredibly easy as well. We're about a 10 minute drive to Joshua Tree National Park.
Airports:
There are several airports to fly into when visiting Joshua Tree, but they all require renting a car.
Palm Springs, CA (PSP) – 45 minutes
Ontario, CA (ONT) – 1 hour 30 minutes
Orange County, CA (JWA) – 2 hours
Long Beach, CA (LGB) – 2 hours 15 minutes
Los Angeles, CA (LAX) – 2 hours 25 minutes
San Diego, CA (SAN) – 2 hours 35 minutes
Las Vegas, CA (LAS) – 3 hours 35 minutes
Our driveway wraps around the back of house, so feel free to circle around the driveway rather than backing out.
This house has old plumbing and has a septic system. PLEASE do not flush anything other than toilet paper.
The second bedroom is detached, and is about a 10ft walk outside from the main house.

Sara and Rich went above and beyond to create a desert sanctuary. Their creativity and design in every detail is what makes the Joshua Tree House so special. We can't wait to go back!

sean November 2015

Our stay at the Joshua Tree House was nothing short of magical. Sara and Rich were extremely hospitable, and although we didn't meet them they were quick to respond to any inquiries. The house was beautifully decorated and appeared exactly as it did in photos. The location is also just a few minutes from Joshua Tree National park and near lots of great shops and bars. I would go back to Joshua Tree House in a heartbeat! Thank you Sara and Rich!

BrittanyJanuary 2016

Sara replied to my request to book almost immediately - she was very responsive and welcoming. She also sent a beautifully illustrated guide with house rules and recommendations for the area which proved not only to be beautiful, but very thoughtful - just like the home itself. The recommendations were great and we had a wonderful time sampling the local cuisine. As for our stay at the Joshua Tree House, my husband and I only wish we could have stayed longer. The space is a designer's dream, the location is magical, and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. If you are looking to make your vacation to Joshua Tree that much more special, you can't go wrong with The Joshua Tree House!

GinaOctober 2015

Cynthia was such a great host! She was very helpful and made us feel at home. The house is a real get-away and it definitely provided a great desert experience as opposed to staying in a hotel. It was quirky with fun decor and Cynthia planned everything to the last detail - including our iced moon teas and peppermint shampoo. She even hand drew maps for us for places to go. She was not there most of the time, so we had the place to ourselves a lot. The location is great because you can walk or take a short drive to all the restaurants near by (which are all local and amazing!). Joshua tree park is also a short drive away. Despite going there in the middle of the Summer in the heat, it was truly a magical time, and the heat adds to the desert experience of it all. So I would say, take a trip there in the Summer too! Did I mention, there's a beautiful clean jacuzzi with powerful massage jets? Check that out too! I highly recommend staying here if you are staying in Joshua Tree.

MaiAugust 2011

It's not far from the truth to say that we planned a trip to JT just to stay in this house! It was every bit as described and my only regret is that we didn't spend more than 1.5 days here. The house put my husband and me in a calm, peaceful frame of mind that set the tone for the rest of our holiday!! Given a chance, we would come back to stay in a heartbeat!

DharmadeviSeptember 2016

Sara planned everything out and was incredibly responsive and thoughtful in not only crafting and curating their space, but making sure their visitors were well informed on their area with a list and map of things to do and eat. The house itself is not only beautiful as expected but a very comfortable and a convenient stay. There are tons of cute shops in the area, tasty eats, and it's right by the national park. We loved this little getaway and would absolutely stay here again and again.

JenFebruary 2016

We absolutely loved every detail of this place! And the Horton under the stars was amazing!

Isis&JoshOctober 2015

We could not have felt more at home during our stay at the Joshua Tree House! Rich and Sara are two amazingly creative individuals who have built an inspiring and relaxing getaway experience. Going into descriptive details would spoil the surprise, but here is a list of reasons why were coming back: Cozy fire place, amazing hot tub, beautiful sunrise/sunset, comfortable bed, great location, and so many thoughtful details! Thank you for making a home away from home for all to enjoy! We will most certainly be back.

This house has the fascinating philosophy of being perfectly embedded in the wonderful landscape. The elaborate interior emphasizes the connection between the habitants and the surrounding. We enjoyed the intellectual atmosphere and the silence. Thank you for the opportunity to share this house with guests! Georg and Stefan

GeorgApril 2015

Just returned from our 3 nights stay. What an unforgettable experience. We didn't want to leave. Though the weather was overcast and the days were short we never ran out of energy to cook a wonderful meal (keep it simple) or take a hot shower. The refrigerator is the size of a dishwasher so shop wisely. Everything was top of the line including the bedding, towels, toiletries. Linda was absolutely a great host providing excellent instructions that were detailed and relevant. Bring a GPS to mark your location upon arrival so trips in and out for food etc is brainless. We took hikes everyday in the endless backyard of desert. With snow in the mountains and an ever changing light to the view out every window, it was hard to leave. Recommendation: No coffeemaker (only espresso machine) for which we could not find refills. Bring your own coffee and coffee press if you can't live with instant coffee. Ample spices, cooking oil and pantry items. One of the best stocked kitchens I've had the pleasure to use. On our short list to come back again.

ChristineJanuary 2016

This house is truly unique. The incredibly remote location, stunning views, and peaceful isolation make a stay here something special. Being "off the grid" is an interesting experience and really makes you think differently about how you use energy. During our stay we were cautious to ration power due to cloudy conditions, but found the experience enlightening and informing. We kept warm at night with the fire, dined by candle light, and showered during daylight hours when power and hot water were more available. Linda has provided a beautiful, thoughtful set of amenities and the house is incredibly comfortable. You'll want to be outside as much as possible though! The location is remote, so having appropriate transportation is important. Our little front wheel drive car was fine for the dirt roads but would have been difficult in bad weather.

ChrisJanuary 2016

I don't even know where to begin. The itHouse is a dream. Waking up in the master bedroom couldn't have been more serene. Every single detail about this house has inspired me to re-evaluate how I'm living and how I can do it better. We arrived on a cloudy day to a powerless house, which Linda warned us about. She helped us through getting the generator up and running which brought the electricity back quite quickly and for the rest of our stay. The way this house runs makes you appreciate what we all take for granted every single day and really forces you to conserve energy. If only we were all like this in our everyday lives. Imagine the relief it would give to the planet?! If you're looking to truly disconnect and re-center yourself, this is the place for you. If you can't live without TV or the Internet on your vacation, you won't find what you're looking for here. It's so remote that you have to climb a hill to get service, so you go to bed under the light of the stars instead of the glow of your phone and you wake up and quickly realize social media won't be the first thing you're going to see - instead you get the 360 degree view of the desert wilderness - lizards and rabbits and land squirrels right outside your window - OH MY. How refreshing! I dream of the day I get to go back. Thank you for building this truly special, thoughtful and gorgeous house.

LanaMay 2015

I had a great stay at this unique, peaceful house. The weather was hot during my stay (95ºF) but the house remained comfortable, no problem. The house is modern and very comfortable. Its really inviting for reading and working. The property is separated from civilization enough be truly disconnected-- surrounded by nothing but Joshua trees and large boulders. Bleak and beautiful. But its still only 20 min from a great live show at Pappy and Harriett's. A great experience for anybody looking to get away from life for a while.

SeanOctober 2012

What a magical and breathtaking place! Stunning, spotless, serene. I feel privileged to have been able to stay in Linda's impeccably designed house. My stay was fantastic and I hope I can return again in the near future.

CelesteJanuary 2014

Stunning house set in an incomparable site. We had a wonderful stay and are already planning our return. Note the house is really remote, once you're there you won't want to leave so make sure you stock up on supplies en route. There's a great organic produce store in Pioneertown with a selection of locally roasted coffee as well. Also, there is no cell or wifi service which we really enjoyed, just, good to know before you go.

StellahApril 2012

Amazing! The house is absolutely georgeous and the surrounding breathtaking. The map was very helpful to find the way to the house. Everything was like described from Linda. We stayed for four nights and it was an unique experience for us. We will come back.

If this cabin is booked on your dates, check out our other two cabins nearby ("Homestead Camp Cabin in Joshua Tree" and "Midcentury Prefab Homesteader Cabin")
*** If you would like to use our cabin as a shooting location please get in touch to discuss our rates, otherwise we do not allow commercial or professional shooting of any kind (photo, video, film) during your stay. Thank you in advance! ***
The restored cabin, which has been featured in the New York Times 'T' travel magazine, Wilder Quarterly, The Weekender and the book 'Jackrabbit Homestead,' was constructed in 1955 and still has its original green paint.
Joshua Tree National Park is a 15 minute drive from the cabin. The Integratron and Giant Rock are also 15 minutes away. The cabin is less than two miles from artist Noah Purifoy's famous sculpture garden site. Two miles in the other direction is Dhamma Dena, teacher Ruth Denison's Vipassana Buddhist center. The always swinging Pappy & Harriet's BBQ and music roadhouse in beautiful Pioneertown is a 30-minute drive. The Lou Harrison House, which hosts occasional devotional, folk and avant garde music events in an intimate setting is less than 10 minutes away. We will be happy to give you directions to each of these unique places (and many others) that we frequent ourselves.
The cabin sits on 5 acres, and feels remote, but it's just 12 minutes from downtown Joshua Tree. You will travel a few miles on a secure, hard dirt road to get here. Enjoy the spectacular panoramic sunset and sunrise—as well as a blanket of stars. In the wintertime, you can build a bonfire too. Sleep comfortably in a queen-sized bed.
The renovated interior has a cookware-outfitted kitchen and dining area. There is an outhouse with a dry toilet and roofless shower a few yards from the cabin. Wireless internet is available if you require a connection to the digital world. The cabin is equipped with air conditioning.
The cabin is located next to BLM land and a wildlife corridor, which means you will witness these wild animals in their native habitat. The cottontail rabbits, cactus wrens, lizards, desert tortoises, jackrabbits, coyotes, owls and roadrunners (and more!) that make the desert their home make a visit to this serene cabin all the more special.
Guests may have freshly prepared organic juices made by local juice cleanse guru Angela de la Agua delivered to the cabin. A menu/pricelist is available upon request.
Extra guests can sleep on the air mattress or camp on the site for an additional $30/person per night. This absolutely must be arranged with us ahead of time so that it can be reflected in the Airbnb reservation and bill.
Please note that we have a TW0-NIGHT MINIMUM stay, and a THREE-NIGHT MINIMUM FOR HOLIDAY WEEKENDS. This requirement allows us to keep our rates low, so that the greatest number of folks get a chance to experience being here in the unfenced desert, under the Milky Way.
We donate 2.5% of our proceeds to the Mojave Desert Land Trust, an excellent local non-profit organization devoted to "protect[ing] the Mojave Desert ecosystem and its scenic and cultural resource values."
Upon your arrival, we will introduce you to how the cabin works, and to the land and its animals. We live up the road and will be available 24/7 during your stay.

Our stay at the Homesteader Cabin was every bit as relaxing, peaceful and fabulous as we thought it would be. It was a truly unique experience for me and my partner and a very memorable way to spend my 30th birthday. The outdoor shower was a nice way to start the day and star gazing the perfect way to end it. The cabin is the perfect location from which to explore Joshua Tree National Park and we also took a short one hour drive to Palm Springs. A stay in one of Stephanie and Jay's cabins is highly recommended. Good luck with all of your future projects :) Catherine & Adam

CatherineOctober 2014

Oh this is such a magical place. Out in the wide open desert, deeply quiet and still, with only the essentials on hand and that's why it's perfect (kitchen basics, a comfortable bed framed by windows overlooking the desert, a table for writing, wifi, a guitar). The host met me when I arrived and showed me the lay of the land. A perfect place to meditate, stargaze, write, and a great anchor for a park visit. Rustic, yes (outdoor shower and composting toilet) but that's part of the spirit of it all. Can't wait to go back.

MarlyMarch 2015

We had a great time, thank you. It is a totally unique place and was a great experience. The cabin is a perfect place to get away from it all. Jay was very helpful and explained everything on check in. The dirt track was fun to drive on, no problem with a hire car, as long as you drive slowly. Close to JTNP, which is amazing to visit.

VerityMay 2016

What a great couple of nights! I've stayed at a variety of different types of accommodations in Joshua Tree and this was by far my favorite. The homesteader is about a ten minute drive from highway - just far enough that it really feels like you are out in the desert, but close enough that it's really easy to get to 29 Palms or Joshua Tree. Jay met us at the cabin and gave us a very thorough run down of how it all worked. I was a bit nervous that I would somehow fail at using the outdoor shower or compost toilet but his instructions were really clear. He even brought us some vegetable oil when we realized we had forgotten to bring our olive oil. The weather was dropping down into the 30s and 40s and night but the ample blanket situation and space heater kept us warm. Armed with a couple of blankets, books and a bottle of wine, we were comfortable on the porch through sunset. Highly recommend!

AnnaJanuary 2015

Jay agreed to meet us earlier than scheduled, since we arrived before the expected time. That was great! While feeling remote, the cabin was easy to find and access, and is not too far from town where you can purchase supplies. There were neighbors closer than I thought there would be, but they are on the back side and we really never noticed they were there. The view is outstanding, and I have never experienced such quiet. We were given a front row seat to an amazing lightning storm in the distance two out of three evenings. The swamp cooler was ample cooling in the hot September weather. We were able to enjoy the nice warm night air outdoors without being swarmed by gnats. The kitchen is decent for a cabin, with a mid sized refrigerator. There was enough counter space and pots/utensils for making a variety of meals with ease. They have a fair amount of dishes, but if you like a big coffee cup, bring your own. We were even able to contribute to their compost, which resulted in very little garbage waste. The cabin is very close to Joshua Tree National Park; which everyone should see at least once.

JaysaSeptember 2015

'Off the pavement' doesn't get better than this! Amazing first AirBnB experience, perfect host interaction, location, views, sunsets, architecture... where do I stop... though Starbucks is a good alternative to the dirt toilet! :-)

PeterJune 2015

Waking-up facing this amazing land was a fantastic moment. The cabin is perfect, Jay & Stephanie are really tastefull. Jay was really helpful and gave us some good tips. If the desert is calling you, just go.

stephaneJuly 2014

Our experience staying in this rustic little cabin was amazing. Wide open vistas, tranquility, and a lot of charm made this a memorable stay. The cabin itself is built and furnished very simply, which we loved. Stephanie, who lives in the main house, was a warm and gracious host, and made us feel at ease right away. She even invited us for wine to watch the desert sunsets from the back porch. Anyone looking for a place to wind down after camping in the park, or just to getaway for the weekend, this little place is perfect!

We own a private residential compound with four (4) separate private units on the ground floor (a main house, a 2-bedroom unit, a 1-bedroom pool house and 1-studio unit), all with their own separate and private entrances from the gated parking area. The main house is on the second and third floors where we, Dennis and Alex live with our dog, Apollo. The pool house has all the comforts of home. It is private and cozy and you have the entire unit all to yourself. It has a full kitchen, 1 bedroom with a queen size bed, a living room, bathroom, and a private back yard patio with a BBQ grill. It is equipped with AC/Heat, coffee maker, Wifi, office desk, DVD player and Cable TV.
Enjoy the tranquility of your own private retreat, with the convenience of the city life at your footsteps! This pool-house is equipped with all your needs.
Guests may conveniently self-check-in using their assigned gate code provided prior to arrival time. Simply enter your code at the gate, drive up the hill and park in the designated parking space. Follow the corridor to the right, past the pool to the rear of the complex where the Pool House unit is located. Guests are welcome to use the pool and spa area where there is a washer and dryer unit and an extra guest-restroom is located.
You have the pool house all to yourself. We will give you your privacy but we are only a phone call away should you need anything.
Apollo is our dog, he's a boxer breed who keeps to himself upstairs in our main house. He thinks he is the king of the jungle up there watching over everyone below to make sure we are all safe.

Beautiful Mt. Washington, next to LA's trendiest neighborhood Eagle Rock and centrally located in the heart of Los Angeles. Just minutes from Downtown LA, Convention Center, Hollywood, Pasadena, Burbank and Glendale.
We are accessible to many freeways: (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) and 210 Freeways. Burbank and Los Angeles International airports are also only minutes away. Uber and Lyft are great affordable options!
This is a large compound with plenty of private spaces and multi-levels/steps. If you happen to come across other guests, please feel free to say hello! We love to maintain a fun and friendly atmosphere.

This place goes above and beyond what you see in the pictures! We could not have asked for a better stay. Alex and Dennis were terrific;) Incredibly hospitable and enjoyable to be around. The pool and everything were always kept up, the view was spectacular, and the vibe was amazing. Thank you Alex and Dennis!!! Luke Tuke & Mike Tike

LukeJuly 2015

amazing stay in the amazing view of pool house. DnA both are very nice. giving us alot of privacy. feeling like back to home. really comfortable . Highly recommend you experience the stay. I rate five stars.

TQNovember 2015

Place was great! View was beautiful and the hosts were great. Not to far from anything you will want to do. Great to be able to do laundry and felt very safe. If I ever need a place to stay in Cali, this will be the spot. You will not regret purchasing this place.

shianneDecember 2015

The house was as beautiful as the pics and description. The location is perfect and easy to get to Downtown LA, Beverly Hills, Melrose, etc. Alex and Dennis were great hosts. I would definitely stay here again.

ShpresaApril 2016

Perfect! Couldn't ask for a better stay and better experience. Was looking for a clean, relaxing place with a view and got more than expected. Alex and Dennis we're very accommodating and respectful of our privacy. Would definitely consider and even recommend this stay.

FrankMay 2015

Hosts were very communicative throughout our visit. They provided refreshments, snacks, toiletries, and a recycling can (which we very much appreciated!). The notes and instructions about the property were excellent; this allowed us to be very self-sufficient and we were able to come and go when we pleased without feeling like we were disruptive. We were pleasantly surprised to see all of the night lighting and decor in the back patio on our first night. Driveway was much steeper than anticipated, but we worked around how to get up the hill without issue. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and would recommend their space to others.

CynthiaSeptember 2015

Dennis and Alex were fabulous hosts! They were gracious and responsive to any questions that we had. We loved our time at the pool house and hope to return soon! It was an idyllic setting, with gorgeous views overlooking LA. We had plenty of privacy and space. The pool and spa were gorgeous. The furnishings were modern, tasteful, and comfortable. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor space. I cannot say enough good things about our experience.

LauraAugust 2015

Private Pool House with Amazing Views is a perfect way to describe this setting! The pool house was clean, a good size for a travelling couple, quiet, and peaceful. The private patio was perfect for some alone time or for dinner outside. Access from the freeway is easy, and the location is perfect for exploring downtown LA, Hollywood, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Los Feliz, Griffith Park, and other east side locations. Our hosts were great to visit with, but also gave us plenty of privacy for coming and going. We loved our stay and hope to return soon!

A private and secluded eco-friendly Yurt with all the modern conveniences on working organic citrus farm. DESIGNED BY AWARD-WINNING INTERIOR DESIGN AUTHOR OF 'SAFARI CHIC' AND 'SWAHILI CHIC'
Enjoy our famous 'farm-to-table' home-cooked ALL ORGANIC meals but our rooms are full? Just send me a message to reserve a meal with us on the ocean-view sun deck or dining room.
Surrounded by canyon park-lands, this brand-new yurt with luxury conveniences features one large circular room (24’ diameter) with a queen size bed in the sleeping loft, a full size sofa bed in the living room, and two additional airbeds available as needed. There is a well-equipped kitchen and en-suite bathroom with shower. While retaining the circular structure and skylight of traditional yurts, this modern guest house has bamboo flooring, built-in walls, glass windows, heating, ceiling fan, WiFi (from 6 am - 11 pm) and satellite TV (no PPV movies/porn or Fox News). It is tastefully decorated with Southwest Navajo artifacts.
This beautiful yurt is available by the night, week or month. It sleeps 4 comfortably, and additional air beds are available. Neither pets nor children under the age of 7 are allowed.
In this rustic retreat, you’ll enjoy the tranquility of sustainable living in the midst of our organic orchard and organic gardens watered with our own well. Just a little over a mile up a scenic canyon road from the Pacific Coast Highway, our neighborhood is home to deer, coyotes, raccoons and hawks and just a few families. Floating above the coast, the property has views of the canyon and the ocean beyond with limitless lookouts for sunrise, sunset, moon rise and star-gazing. Surrounded by our Meyer lemon and avocado orchard, the yurt is adjacent to our organic vegetable gardens and free-range chicken coop but does not have it's own private ocean-view.
In the morning, there is fresh brewed coffee en suite. Home-cooked organic meals featuring our own garden-fresh produce and local, organic or varietal wines can be arranged at a reasonable price.
Committed to an ecological lifestyle, we alert guests to a few limitations. No loud music. No parties or non-paying guests unless cleared by the management. Smoking allowed outside only, on decks or patio - use ashtrays only. This is a highly flammable wildlife area.
We also want to advise guests that this is a working orchard and vegetable garden. People uncomfortable with domestic animals (dogs, chickens, rooster) or scared by the sounds of wild animals (coyotes, owls, song birds) may prefer an urban location. Also, those who are very light sleepers should consider using earplugs if the possibilty of sounds of coyotes, owls, rooster or dogs keep them awake. While we strive to avoid working around the Yurt during early morning or late afternoon when guests like to relax, we will be tending the gardens, etc. during the day which many guests find fascinating.
Whether you wish to retreat to Nature or explore the surroundings, you have a wide choice of activities. Our canyons and beaches boast world-class mountain biking, hiking, horse-riding, wine-tasting, surfing and sunbathing. Nearby are local restaurants and hangouts while the towns of Westlake Village & Thousand Oaks are just 15 miles away to the north. There are hiking trails right out the yurt door which access Nicholas Canyon Park and lake as well as Leo Carillo State Park. Note that out-the-door hikes involve a steep climb, but those guests who prefer a stroll to a strenuous hike can drive up the hillside in 10 minutes to access a walk through 200 year oak groves so level it is officially wheel-chair accessible! We can help you arrange horseback lessons and trail rides locally, as well as rental of surfboards, wet suits, and mountain bikes. Yoga, dance, Pilates, acupuncture, massage, and gym usage can also be arranged.
While secluded, we are easily accessible by major roads. A 3 minute drive down the canyon takes you to Pacific Coast Highway’s most pristine beaches in southern California. It’s just a few more miles to beautiful Malibu town and pier with all lots of shopping, dining and recreational opportunities. A 12 minute drive in the other direction takes you to the Ventura Freeway for easy access to Burbank. Downtown L.A., Disney land and beyond... Or heading north to Ventura, Santa Barbara, Pismo Beach, and other sights on the way to San Francisco.
** Special Note **
We are a working agricultural operation that hosts guests through Airbnb. Our location is in a distinctly rural area of the Malibu hills. If you are the type of person who is squeamish about encountering a few natural things like crickets, ants, spiders and an occasional deposit of dust on the window sill then perhaps we are not the right fit for you. We strive every day to keep our facilities dust and insect free, but our l...

Malibu West is the real, authentic Malibu populated by the surfers, ranchers, and artists that together create a unique environment. While neighbors are hardly visible here in our canyon, a great way to enjoy the architecture of the area is to stroll along the shore of Broad Beach where many Malibu celebrities live. Another great option is to cruise Mulholland Drive all the way to the ocean.
Having a car is best, but if you don't we can pick you up at the bus stop at Trancas down the road for a reasonable fee. Please note that taxis charge between $95-150 for transport from LAX or downtown L.A. Unless you are an intrepid trekker comfortable with city transport, you will definitely need a car.
It is important to note that during the months of Dec, Jan, Feb, & March, the temperature at night can fall below 50 degrees. Although there is a nice wood pellet stove heater in the yurt, it is important to be aware that it can be chilly by morning even with the heater on, so we recommend having some warmer morning clothing available during these months. We provide extra blankets for the bed during this time also. The pool is available year-round but, of course, the water isn't warm until around July - October. Note that the hot tub is not part of the AirBnB amenities.

This yurt is simple, rustic and lovely. We had everything we needed (minus a shower - it unfortunately was out while we were there). It's a quiet get away close to everything in Malibu. It was an enjoyable retreat we very much needed.

LesleyOctober 2016

We had a wonderful stay at Bibi's place. The location near the beach and mountains (Malibu Winery right up the road, beach down the road) is terrific, the yurt is clean, comfy and tidy, and the pool area is a nice place to hang and catch some sun. A unique experience that we would certainly enjoy again.

JayJune 2016

Special thanks to John for welcoming us to the Yurt, he also took his time to answer all of our questions & shared great hiking tips. We had a wonderful Yurt experience & hope to be back again. Cozy, relaxing, easy to find, limited Wifi and TV stations (this was a good thing for us..... Our kids actually engaged in long conversations with us-ha ha) Great reading material, easy to use heater. Tip: try to plan out your trip by writing it out or pre printing your directions being that Internet service and wifi is limited. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as our family did

Catalina June 2016

We had a great overnight stay at the Malibu Yurt Retreat, and Bibi welcomed us warmly, and gave us the instructions needed for everything. Great place to feel tucked away from the city. I think I will be back again someday.

NickMay 2016

Staying with Bibi (in the Yurt) was absolutely perfect. Everything was exactly as described and Bibi was amazing. We decided to join her for dinner and the evening was wonderful. Everything from the food to the company and the scenery. I would highly recommend treating yourself to staying at Bibi's place. Whether you live in LA and want a mini get away or you're visiting from out of town. It's worth it either way. Oh and to top it off, Bibi made some of the best lemon meringue pie I've ever had. Thank you Bibi :-)

Frankie July 2016

Really lovely people who were very welcoming and great location-thanks for having us.

LucindaSeptember 2016

We had a great night of rest at Bibi's cool yurt. Everything is as advertised. Definitely make sure you handle your calls and web surfing before you commit to driving up the hill as suggested in Bibi's directions.

VincentSeptember 2016

Terrific stay, easy check-in... Malibu is beautiful (el matador beach and solstice canyon hike were my favorite parts) The yurt was the perfect home base. The heaters a bit tricky but it'll work eventually.

The Tile House is a magic place. A vortex in the desert of love and space. This is the place to retreat and unwind, find yourself, breathe and explore. Not available or appropriate for parties or large gatherings. A spot to meditate, cook, and watch the sky, the clouds and stars at night. A healing, colorful environment for rejuvenating your spirit and soul.

A two bedroom house with outdoor hot tub and gorgeous views, and gated courtyard with firepit. Queen-sized beds, picture windows, cotton linens, and towels. Fabulous and reliable WiFi. iPod dock with speakers. Full Kitchen, refrigerator, coffee maker, mixing bowls, wood-burning stove, swamp cooler. Laundry facility on site. Fireplace and pellet stove. Dog-door for your pet to access a fenced and secure yard. Great for large get togethers or a romantic getaway. Sleeps 4 comfortably but also has a sofa sleeper for a kid.
Cradled inside and outside by a mosaic made of Mexican tile, smalti, handmade Perry Hoffman ceramics, tile and fused glass, found desert tiles, found objects, stained glass and ceramic bric-brac, THERE you find yourself situated in complete silence, watching the desert light crawl across the fast and intricate landscape which is ALL around you.
7 miles from the town of 29 Palms and the east entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. 360 degree views amid the peace and quiet, beauty and wonder, where indoor and outdoor osmosis expands your exposure to the desert. Touches of luxury, whimsy, and function make the visitor feel safe but also adventurous.
Perry has been working on his roadside attraction / museum / gallery / magic spot / mosaic house since it began in 2000. 11 years later, 800 sqft were added, and approximately 2500 sqft of mosaic applied and grouted. Glass fused baubles, hand made ceramics and a magical desert. This desert homestead turned beacon of love vision is waiting to reach the stars.
The Tile House sits in the middle of the vast and open desert. You need not walk two feet to be a part of the wilderness, now it is up to you to look around both macro and micro and see what you can see here. Jack rabbits, cottontails, ravens, scorpions, desert iguana, snakes, Gambel's quail, lesser night hawks, owls, coyotes, roadrunners, sphinx moths, and kangaroo rats, flash floods, dust devils, lightning storms, sunsets, summer rains, empty roads, wildflowers, and cacti are some of the things you might happen to see. Walk gently in nature. At night, absorb the clear starry skids, and August and November meteor showers.
Remember, there are rusty bits and broken tiles in the sand. This is a work in progress. Be careful and don't walk about barefoot. You have been warned. Not recommended for children, unless prior arrangements and agreements are made.
You are ironically completely alone in the middle of nowhere and the center of the universe.
The whole house is yours except the middle room, across from the Buddha fountain, our owners closet.
I am always available by iPhone for any assistance you may need.

We are 15 minutes from 29 Palms, groceries and restaurants. Also we are just 10 miles to the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park.

Was looking for a unique weekend away from Los Angeles and definitely found it in the tile house. There were a lot of amazing corners to explore and it made the desert feel even more magical. Perry was great, communicative and made it known that he was available. Highly recommend!

MarkJuly 2014

Perry's Tile House is hands down the most magical place I have ever been to, something that dreams are made of. Not only was the house/property entirely perfect for a joshua tree get away, but Perry additionally took great care of us providing a clean space, instructional notes around the house on how to use all of the appliances, and everything else we could need. Truly a very special experience to be had; I feel very lucky to have been welcomed into this home and I highly recommend this beautiful space.

kaitlinJanuary 2015

Tile House was everything we expected and more. There was an endless amount of beautiful things to discover in and out of the house. It was one of the most unique and relaxing places we have ever been to in the world. I couldn't imagine a more perfect way to experience the desert and it was very close to Joshua Tree National Park. Thank you Perry for creating this and sharing it with others! Thanks also for your helpfulness and quick responses. We hope we can visit your house again.

JessicaAugust 2014

The Tile house was nothing short of amazing. It's beautiful, serene, yet full of life at the same time. No detail was amiss, every corner of the house, floor, and wall was detailed beautifully. We really enjoyed having the extra amenities such as the: Hot tub Full kitchen Outdoor fire pit Dogs allowed You can cook/bake to your hearts content because Perry is fully stocked. This was was very inspiring and a great way to re-energize and recharge. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

RevaMarch 2015

This place was rad! Amazing art and super comfortable.

TommasoJuly 2014

The reservation was canceled 44 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We had a wonderful time at the Tile House. It's even prettier in real life than in pictures. And the location is great--about a twenty minute drive to the north entrance of the park. We had fun hiking during the day and coming home to enjoy the beautiful 360 degree sunset from the living room. Perry was generous and responsive. There was one miscommunication involving Perry's housekeeper but Perry seemed to understand. Great trip!

DorothyJanuary 2016

This place is even better in person! My boyfriend and I and our dog rented Perry's place for one night on Thanksgiving and it was a wonderful way to spend our holiday. I was afraid that we would be bored in the middle of nowhere with no TV, but there was so much to see in the home. We cooked in the cute kitchen that was full of the basics (pots, pans, cooking utensils, plates, bowls, spices, wine opener, you name it!). We roasted marshmallows using the fire pit and enjoyed the hot tub. The fenced in area was so nice for our dog--not to mention the bonus of the doggy door from one of the bedrooms. Unfortunately, it was too cloudy to see the stars or the sunset, but we would definitely come back for this next time we're going to Joshua Tree. Perry was so communicative and kind prior to our arrival. His pellet stove wasn't working, so his housekeeper brought us heaters. He even offered to pay for our wood if we wanted to heat the fireplace in the middle room for warmth because it was a cold night. We are so happy we spent Thanksgiving here. Thank you, Perry for sharing your charming, eclectic and perfectly curated home with us!

A delightful experience often compared with the French Riviera, incredible ocean views. Conveniently located only 23 miles from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), 20 minutes from Santa Monica, seconds from gorgeous beaches and mountain hikes.

Situated on a sea facing canyon this beautiful home has to be seen to be believed.
Over looking the Pacific toward the island of Catalina.
An idyllic house with ample on site parking.
Surrounded by three acres of mature gardens, oranges, lemons and figs are ready to pick upon your arrival.
The apartment comprises of bedroom, bathroom, galley kitchen, large sitting room and private sea facing terrace.
The one bedroom, open concept apartment is perfectly suited for a couple but has a queen size sofa bed and a small pull out bed for a child.
The bathroom has a curtain rather than a door.
Access to the Malibu beaches and the Santa Monica Mountains are within minutes of the house.
There are scuba diving facilities and world class restaurants on the Pacific Coat Highway.
Drive along the Pacific Coast Highway to Zuma Beach, shop at the luxurious Lumber Yard.
There is a discreet public access to Billionaires Beach at the bottom of the hill.
Santa Monica is only 20 minutes away.
Wi-Fi and cable are available.
This unique home has everything a trip to Malibu promises.
If this space is not available for your preferred dates or you think you want more room we another totally separate apartment in the same house with it's own access and terraces etc. super cool and worth checking out. This apartment can be viewed at:
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/4350779
Guests have access to the fruit grown on the property and use of the beautiful 3 acres of gardens.
We respect the privacy of our guests but we are always available on the phone for your convenience.

David and Ling greeted us upon arrival and made us feel extremely welcome. The space is incredible. We instantly felt at home. There was no talk about "going back to the room", it was always "when we get back home." Yes, there is a drive up the canyon that will feel intimidating the first time you do it. Don't worry about this though, you get used to it very quickly (I've since come to miss this drive). The neighborhood is extremely quiet and extremely dark. The view of the stars was outstanding. The place is listed perfectly and described accurately. There was a slight bit of noise that bled down from our upstairs neighbors but it was not an issue at all. If you're a light sleeper just turn on the fan and that will be enough to silence normal levels of upstairs noise. I can't rate David and Ling's place high enough. This is a truly outstanding property that we feel extremely lucky to have been able to share for a short period of time. If you have any doubts at all about the experience, don't. The house is perfect. The owners are perfect. The location is perfect.

TJApril 2015

We had an amazing time at this Malibu Hideaway! The pictures definitely do it justice and we had a bey pleasant time. We highly recommend this stay and look forward to returning!

KevinMay 2016

David was very communicative and welcoming, both on email and in person, and very accommodating of our wishes. The setting of their home is just as dramatic and unique as it looks in the photos, unlike any hotel experience you could have. We literally said "wow" as we drove in. We stayed in both units over the course of our stay, so we got to know the building well. I believe they just purchased it in the last six months, and have renovations planned. It's been pretty untouched since when it was built in the 70s, I think, so it has a bit of a funky beat-up vibe in places. (I wasn't totally expecting that given the scenery and the modern furniture in the photos. Gardens are overgrown, in an elegant way, certain features of the space are inconvenient in an almost self-designed manner, etc. The bathrooms felt modernized, though.) All this to say that the place feels like it hasn't been invested in or updated in a while but David and Ling strike me as fastidious new owners who will only make it better. We had never stayed in Malibu before and didn't realize quite how remote this would feel -- something for first time visitors to LA to consider. The roads are quite narrow and windy so we didn't feel super comfortable strolling our infant around and it would have been hard to make it work without a rental car though previous renters seem to have used Uber. Bear in mind that your cell service may be spotty; in the downstairs unit there was no landline, but there is wifi in both units that works pretty well.

JulietMay 2015

This place was wonderful. A true hideaway... :) Thank you both for letting us experience Malibu in this way. xx

ValbonaOctober 2016

It is a beautiful spot with an amazing view, you feel like you're in the heavens above the beach...

ANDRESJune 2016

Awesome location with an absolutely amazing view!!! The pictures can't truly make it justice. It was so great sitting out on the patio for any meals, but especially breakfasts. It was close to great hikes that we just loved! Also a short drive to PCH and some of the best beaches in Malibu. The options for having a bite are plentiful both down on PCH and up in the canyons and we really enjoyed how easy it was to change the scenery from beach to mountains to great views and to cosy wooded areas. The place it self has all the amenities we required for our week and a half stay with our 9 month old baby. A big plus was the tangerines and citrus trees just out side for fresh vitamin C. When we arrived the shower knobs was not working correctly but David took care of that right away and the next day the plumber had fix the issue. David and Ling where very attentive hosts. Only drawback was that there is no insulation between upstairs and this apartment so you can basically hear what people are saying in a normal voice from upstairs. We had no major issues with this as the people who rented upstairs during our stay didn't make much noise. Also it does get very hot in the day time in the apartment so you should note that there's no air conditioning. We had no problem since the windows can open and you can pull down the window shades. And it cools of quickly with the help of a fan in the evening. Also adding we where there in January. We really love this place and would gladly come back any time! /Daniel, Stina & Billie

DanielFebruary 2015

Wonderful peaceful and quiet retreat in the hills of Malibu. Despite the fact that David and Ling are not in town they try everything to help us accommodate. The apartment itself is great for two. Everything there that you need. You need a car because it is up the hills, but we managed to get an uber as well. The only downside is that you hear the adjacent apartment. But Ling and David are working on a solution. In summary I think it is a wonderful place and I would go there again.

NinaApril 2015

Rustic charm, a priceless view, at a reasonable rate. Owners are delightful and accommodating. They recently purchased this property that had been neglected. They are bringing it back to its original glory. They canyon drive can be a bit challenging, but the pleasant solitude is worth the effort. They have a path that wanders up and down rough steps. KEEP A FLASHLIGHT WITH YOU TO HELP NAVIGATE THE PATHWAY WHEN IT GETS DARK. Would - and will - go back again.

MatthewApril 2016

Such a great host! Beautiful, spacious apartment with all of the amenities you could possible want. Great communication throughout the whole process. Definitely would love to stay here any time I'm back in DTLA. Thanks for everything Brian!

DannyApril 2014

Brian's place is everything you think it might be from the photos. Just an amazing hip place with great decor, plenty of space and lots of natural light. The little village the building is a part of is just icing on the cake. Your own personal market, gym, food court, pool, spa, basketball court, balconies and catwalks galore, rooftop lounge and bbq areas, etc. and blocks away from the best downtown LA has to offer. Checking in was a breeze as its by key code, and Brian was quickly responsive to all my questions and because we checked in late, he even granted my daughter and I a few extra hours for checkout at last minute which was really cool. Overall, great experience and would definitely stay again!

AndrewMay 2014

Wonderful place, interesting neighborhood :) I had a great time.

MatthewJune 2014

The apartment was wonderful and clean. I didn't meet Brian but we had great communication through out the check in and out process. There are many restaurants and coffee shop around the area and I loved the one right outside the building. The garage is right next to the building entrance and everything was very conveniently located. I travel to LA often so will definitely stay again!

Newly-remodeled cottage keeps you in the heart of it all, while affording you total privacy and quiet. We designed the cottage to be a warm and bright retreat from the hustle of everyday life. It really feels remote and peaceful.

"Thea & George were awesome hosts and their place is absolutely amazing. It's a perfectly appointed private cottage tucked away on a quiet street on the back of their property. We wanted a place close to the beach but far enough away so as to not be in the middle of the action all the time - this place was the perfect medium."
"Thea and George's cottage, set off a quiet road, is bright, clean, and cheerful. It's newly renovated, with great attention to detail, making for a relaxing stay. The location is a short walk to the main drag of Abbot Kinney, where you'll find lots of shops, cafes, restaurants, and the buzz of Venice. There are bikes available, too, and Thea's family have a super sweet dog. Overall, it's a beautiful flat and is recommended for anyone who wants a relaxing time in a great neighborhood with friendly, attentive hosts."
This is a super-sweet cottage in the back of our property, perfect for a professional looking for a quiet place to come home to after a hard day's work, for a couple wanting some peace and quiet, or for a family with one or two small children. We've just renovated it, and furnished it with lots of love and care. IT IS BEAUTIFUL!
We're one mile from Venice Beach, half a mile to the Venice Canals, and six blocks from the famous Abbot Kinney shopping street, with LA's trendiest boutiques and restaurants.
The cottage is roomy and very bright, with five skylights and wood floors. It has a full kitchen, with fridge, toaster and 3-burner antique gas stove. The bedroom area can be closed off from the rest of the space by a semi-circular folding door, and it is furnished with a queen bed. The living area is spacious and bright and right now it has a full-size bed that can be used as couch/daybed or sleeping for one or two.
The cottage has its own outdoor table and chairs with an umbrella, idyllically situated under a big bougainvillea vine.
We provide:
- linens, towels and beach towels
- a full kitchen with pots and pans, tableware and some basic cooking staples (ketchup, oil and vinegar, salt and pepper, sugar, coffee, tea, etc.)
- shampoo, conditioner, soap
- two rickety adult bikes (use at no charge, you fix them if they break)
- wifi
- there is ample free parking on the street, you just have to yield the street cleaning signs to avoid getting a ticket on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, 8-10am.
Please read our other reviews to see what kind of hosts we are and to get an idea of the service we provide.
We provide all the linens, towels, beach towels, bikes and more. Shampoo, conditioner, soap in the bathroom and basic cooking essentials in the kitchen. All you really need to bring is your bathing suit and toothbrush.
We give you complete privacy and ample space. We're very friendly, though, so if you'd like to stop by and chat about LA or Venice, or have a glass of wine with us, we'd love to meet you and hear about your adventures.

Abbot Kinney has become the hottest boutique and restaurant destination on the West Side, and it's only six blocks away. The beach is only a mile away, with the famed Venice Canals halfway there.
We are three blocks from major bus lines going to Santa Monica, the airport and downtown LA.

What a beautiful cottage in a fantastic location. The cottage was exactly as described/pictured and very spacious and bright. There were lots of basics, suncream, coffee and tea, etc which was really helpful as we had arrived quite unprepared. Thea was a wonderful host who was very helpful when we arrived early. I would definitely recommend George and Thea as hosts.

Such a nice place and neighborhood. It was exactly as described. I would definitely stay here again. It was just what I was looking for.

AndrewDecember 2015

We had a very nice stay in Theas Cottage. Everything was well prepared. The appartement is well equiped and the location is perfect for exploring the channels, shopping on Abbott Kinney Road and going to Venice. We would recommend this place.

StefanieAugust 2015

Thanks for a fantastic time in Venice. The place was really lovely and had everything we needed. Communication in advance could not be better, we had absolutely no difficulties finding the place and no questions were left unanswered. Would stay here always again!

ChristianSeptember 2016

Thea provided great instructions on how to get to the house. It's an awesome little place and they provided all the things you would expect to have at home... Towels, toiletries, etc. I stayed just one night but it was exactly what I needed in terms of rest and relaxation before an early meeting. I was worried about parking but there was plenty of street parking. It was just me, but there was also plenty of space and sleeping privacy between the two beds. The best part was the sunlight that shines through the skylights in the morning. Great way to wake up. Thanks guys!

JairNovember 2016

George and Thea's place was incredible! We never actually got to meet them as we were only there for a brief time but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't recommend highly enough! Thanks, guys!

I love love loved my experience at My Little Paris. From the adorable décor to the ease of restaurants, a mini market, and Starbucks nearby, this listing met all my needs. Close to Hollywood, and close to Universal Studios, I hit up all the places that my boyfriend and I wanted to go to. Colette and her husband were warm, friendly, and super easy to work with and contact! The free parking space they provided was amazing and only a block away from the apartment complex. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom made great use of the space. The place looked exactly like the photos, which was nice. There's a Tamale shop right next door to the complex that was delicious and cheap. A block away is a café that Colette recommended that was open 24 hours that we frequented a couple of times due to our late nights. As she noted, it was consistently good each time we went. Like any downtown area, there are homeless nearby that are not shy at all so I'd be careful walking around late late at night. Overall an amazing AirBnB experience and would definitely come back!

Collette's place is a little gem in the downtown LA area. The place was very cute and clean - very charming and comfortable. We were visiting from the east coast for a concert at the Disney center. We walked to the Broad and MOCA as well as the Disney center. Also, the food market and the last bookstore. It is in downtown LA, however, so you just have to be ready for some of the grit of being downtown.

KellyMay 2016

Collette was in touch with us regarding our arrival and it went so smoothly as we had a lot of luggage. Very welcoming to her wonderful apartment with great recommendations for food and good tips how to explore LA.

RupalSeptember 2016

Let me start out by saying that my family and I travel often, all over the world, usually renting an apartment so we can feel at home. Colette's airbnb was by far my best experience renting anywhere (including Paris)! It was immaculate, exquisitely curated (every object carefully chosen, each part of the apartment lavished with so much love), and delightful in every detail. On top of that, Colette herself is an absolute treasure—charming, knowledgeable, personable and, above all, deeply caring about her guests' comfort and well being. I felt we went from being strangers to friends in the space of a few hours. Nothing was too much trouble for her—above and beyond personal attention in every way. As an airbnb host myself, I frequently found myself thinking "I'd better step up my game!"

ValorieMay 2016

Colette was an amazing host! She gave us plenty of food recommendations that were nearby, and told us a bit of history about the city! Her place is absolutely beautiful, and clean!

JaniceJuly 2016

This was my first Airbnb experience and we were very happy with everything. The apartment was great! Colette was great. Thanks.

ToniNovember 2014

It was my first time using Airbnb when i stayed at Martha's apartment in March. It's in DTLA and was a short 30 min drive from the airport. I cannot express my gratitude to her for being so welcoming and helpful. When we arrived she provided free parking and showed us to the apartment. The apartment was decorated wonderfully and extremely clean. I love that we had access to the rooftop jacuzzi and pool. It has an amazing view of DTLA. Martha offered to do our laundry, she brought us treats and was helpful in giving us information on local hotspots. She really made my trip special! My next Airbnb host has big shoes to fill because Martha has set the standard high! TIP: Go to all the places Martha suggest! She really knows her stuff!

GaryJuly 2016

I enjoyed the space! Easy location just 2-3 miles from the beach. The home is beautiful. If I had one critique, while I loved the openness with all the glass I thought privacy was lacking a bit with no blinds or anything allowing full coverage from the main house.

AdamJuly 2016

My friend and I loved Mary's guesthouse! It was close to some local coffee shops, so it was great to be able to walk over and get coffee and pastries in the morning. It was also very clean and tidy, with enough extra linens if we needed them. Mary was very helpful and responsive every time we had a question. We definitely felt very welcome and at-home here.

ChristinaJuly 2016

The location is absolutely lovely; quiet and peaceful but still close to everything. The space itself is wonderfully clean and modern; I really appreciated the simple and sparse decor, as I didn't have to worry about my kid breaking someone else's knickknacks. The closet is very generously-sized and the shower was very comfortable, luxurious even. Having secure off-street parking is a huge plus, especially since we were parking bikes too. Mary was an excellent communicator, and very accommodating when she realized the construction work she'd scheduled during our stay conflicted with our kid's nap. My only caveat is that the kitchen is not stocked for cooking a full meal; but if you're just having some basic breakfast or microwave-based food, it's fine. Overall, it was a great place to stay and we would certainly recommend it!

DebSeptember 2016

At the time we stayed, there were no window coverings, and unless you are an outright extrovert, this was not a comfortable situation. The lighting is a good color, but very intense at night. The unit is very nice, and very clean, and experience was very easy! So with the addition of operable window coverings this would be a 5-star stay.

RafaelAugust 2016

We really enjoyed our weekend at Mary's place in Santa Monica. The room is very clean, bright and minimalist. It felt very zen and was incredibly peaceful at night. It is quite close to down town Santa Monica, but a car is helpful to get around if you are heading to the beach or you could rely on public transport. The beds are comfy and the bathroom is gorgeous. All very trendy. If you like to sleep in, you will need an eye mask as there are no curtains and the room is surrounded by glass. It was nice to be able to park our car in the garage just next door to the room. All in all, a great place to stay in SM.

JillAugust 2016

Mary's place is pretty much everything we wanted in a place to stay during our most recent trip to Santa Monica. The guesthouse was private, clean, spacious, and was the perfect place to unwind after our long days. Appliances were immaculate, the beds were cozy, the walk in closet was perfect for storing/organizing all of our belongings, and having a dedicated, in-garage, parking spot was awesome. Location was perfect as well - nestled in a quite neighborhood just minutes away from Santa Monica Pier. Mary herself communicated well, and gave us everything we needed to ensure for a relaxing stay & successful trip! Highly recommend this property - we're already looking forward to our next trip back!

Wake up to a rugged, beautiful landscape with picturesque mountain views and wide open cloudless blue skies. At the foot of the door, magical hiking trails take you across the Santa Monica mountains. It’s a perfect spot for active, eco-conscious couples who love the outdoors, but also want to be close enough to the city. It’s glamping at its finest.
Beauty. Simplicity. Nature.
Bring it back into your life.

With our name change from Silver Sky Acres to TOP OF THE HILL ACRES, our Winter weather is bringing you an even more memorable experience. It's also Our favorite time of year. The cooler nights encourage our guests to bring a bundle of firewood or duraflame (which can be picked up at any local supermarket) and snuggle up under the stars at the outdoor fire pit. We provide extra cozy blankets for warmth until the morning sunrise warms your toes through the view out your trailer windows. You can prepare meals on our large family-sized outdoor barbecue and choose between outdoor dining under the stars or snuggling up amongst the cushions of the Moroccan candlelit nook.
Two trailers are for our guests to enjoy. The smaller trailer provides a small kitchen including a fridge, toaster oven and kettle. The larger trailer awaits for a cozy night sleep.
Planets and stars come out by the thousands, and the hoot of owls and the call of the mountain coyotes connects us to the beauty of nature.
The shared space we call the Moon room also known as the treehouse room and wifi room is avail for our guests to connect at the same time suspended in mid-air, in a wall-less space, where the comfort of indoors and the vast outdoors are one.
Come and enjoy a Southern California vacation:)
Two trailers, wifi room, barbecue, and fire pit ( weather permitting, winds and high heat propose serous hazards in canyon areas. Fires must be approved by silver sky acres before using)
At Top of the Hill Acres we have a comfortable, laid-back approach and we do enjoy interacting with our guests. We are also sensitive to the needs of our guests and giving maximum privacy is important to us.

Great hiking trails. Awesome bird watching and home to our wild coyotes. ( they are harmless, just don't bring your cat)
15 minutes from the best California surfing and sandy beaches.
Shopping is 10-15 minutes away.
Topanga eclectic shopping and celebrations happening every weekend!!
Uber does make it up here but I'd suggest renting a car. Convertible mustangs seem to be popular:)
Silver Sky Acres is also our home. My son , Dest and I live on the lower section of the property. We also share this lovely location with our two dogs, U2 and Georgie - both of whom are laid back and easy going.

What can I say!? This place has such a special feel, we fell in love with it instantly. So much so, we wanted to come back again the following week. All hand crafted by Lydia, our host. An incredible woman, and so kind and welcoming. We felt instantly at ease. The trailer, facilities and outdoor space is really beautiful. The views are amazing too. I can't recommend this place enough...if rustic, outdoor living is your thing then you will love it here. ...even if it isn't, then go and experience it! Its so special, we hope to return one day :) x

HeatherMay 2016

As is a half value.

KimJune 2016

REALLY enjoyed my stay at silver sky acres. Lydia was a wonderful guest very attentive making us feel part of the family. Overall very romantic place. Hope to stay here again soon!

linetteMay 2016

Lydia was extremely welcoming and easy to communicate with. Trailer was a unique and fun gateway. Outdoor shower was blissful and something different from ordinary stays which is exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend staying here and we can't wait to go again!

Farah August 2016

Lydia is an incredible Airbnb host. We've had a magical time at her place (you have to go and see it yourself!) The caravans are so beautiful and every little detail is made with so much love. This is a great spot if you want to relax and enjoy the nature in Topanga canyon. We've also had some great conversations (and wine) with Lydia and we're welcomed in such a sweet way after a long travel. This place is really a home away from home.

HannahSeptember 2016

Lydia's caravan offered a rare experience that would be hard to replicate--a coolly decorated caravan and a deck with fire and barbeque, where you could sit out under the stars. Lydia was friendly and welcoming and provided us with everything we needed. The location is excellent for visiting LA (as long as you have a car)--just 20 minutes from Santa Monica but still close to nature and set in the quiet seclusion of the Topanga mountains.

FriedaSeptember 2016

A stunning place to say - a real getaway & perfect for relaxing. Cooking steaks on the BBQ overlooking the canyon with a glass of red - perfection!

DanSeptember 2016

Hello, I am french girl who travel a lot (sorry for my english). I think it was my best travel experience with an host. Lydia is very naturel, warm, authentic. This woman is amazing. The place is very cute, clean and quiet. All it is perfect for your dream vacation ! And I think this kind of experience gives an other overview of Los Angeles. It is perfect ! I'll be back. Thank you so much Lydia for this amazing experience. You are great !

Beautiful PRIVATE TROPICAL Guest House in Topanga Canyon! Look up Cody Simpson's video, "Love" on You Tube for video of property!
1 NIGHT STAYS ARE $225/NIGHT. MSG 4 INFO, NO DISCOUNTS on 1 night stays. Weekly & Monthly rates available, rates depend on season -- please inquire for long term stays.
Rates vary per season & day of week -- please enter dates in calendar for pricing, rate as shown on listing is base rate!
PLEASE READ ENTIRE DETAILS/LISTING BEFORE MESSAGING.

Hello! Welcome!
Please read my entire listing before messaging, as I have comprehensive coverage for most all questions! Additionally, I do adhere to all of my rules & guidelines! No exceptions!
Rules are: 2 guest maximum, no pets, no children of any age, no visitors during your stay, etc.. The AirBnB app does not show what I do not allow, only what I do! Please check this listing on a desktop computer, so you understand what I do allow/do not allow before messaging. No parties/events/weddings on my property.
HOME DETAILS:
Come relax up in Topanga & get away! 1 Bedroom Guest House located in the Heart of the canyon for nightly & weekly rentals! The entire property has waterfalls, ponds & a tropical themed environment. The guest house has 1 queen sized bed & can accommodate a maximum of two guests comfortably. There is also a kitchenette with mini fridge, stovetop, complete with coffee maker & filters, dishes/pots/pans & washer/dryer on site (the washer/dryer is for stays of 5+ days). Unit does not have A/C, but has ceiling fans in the bedroom, along with sliding glass & screen doors in each room allowing for ventilation.
PARKING:
1 carport parking spot is available, along with extra parking along the road. The road is paved, but has no sidewalks alongside.
CELL PHONE & INTERNET:
Wireless internet is available, along with a cell signal booster. Reception can be spotty up in the mountains, and is not guaranteed; although most all guests have not had issues.
NEIGHBORHOOD:
Topanga is a charming, countryside neighborhood adjacent to Los Angeles & very safe. I've lived here for over 30 years, and never had any issues.
COMMUTE:
My house is about 15 minutes drive from Santa Monica, 20 minutes from Malibu & 15 minutes to Woodland Hills, 30 minutes to LAX. Without traffic, I'm about 35 minutes from Hollywood, 40 minutes from downtown, 25 minutes to West Los Angeles/Culver City. To get a better idea of commute, I'm central in Topanga, so if you check a map for Topanga, CA & get directions from there, you'll be able to estimate distances.
ARE THERE ANIMALS ON THE PROPERTY?
No. I do not allow any animals in the guest house, nor are there any on the property (for those of you with allergy concerns). For those who need petsitting: LADogma is a great local option where dogs stay comfortably in a home in Topanga. Just look up "LADogma" for more info.
IS THIS A FAMILY RENTAL?
My rental is Adults Only - No children of any age allowed (including infants)! Due to a unique property structure, with many stone stairways, ponds, firepit, size of guest house, etc., I remain firm on my policy of (2) adult guests maximum per stay. Many families try to message me asking for an exception; but I do remain firm on this rule, due to liability & safety concerns.
I'm happy to host just parents for a romantic getaway, though!
ACCESSIBILITY:
There are several long flights of stone steps leading up to the guesthouse. This shouldn't be a problem for most people (and i'm happy to help with luggage), but if you have trouble with stairs, this may not be the place for you. I've had multiple pregnant women manage the stairs late in their term, but these stairs may also be a concern for pregnant women on bed rest.
SENSITIVE?
Sheets are 100% cotton, 600 thread count - I use all natural laundry detergents, for those of you with allergy concerns! I also provide organic soaps, all cotton towels & robes. Please do let me know if you have allergies though, so I can be extra scent-sitive!
SURFING?
If you'd like this to be a surf getaway, I'm happy to loan you one of my boards with your security deposit acting as collateral! I have kayaks & stand-up paddle boards available for use - but note that you'll need a truck or SUV to get them down to the beach (I don't allow guests to tie the boards to a standard car, even with a roof rack - I don't want my boards to be damaged). I've been surfing & diving for many years locally, and would be happy to give you some pointers on location, etc..
PHOTOGRAPHER?
If you are a photographer looking to use my property as a location for a shoot, please note that I don't include shoots as part of a "package" deal when staying at the guest house. If you try to sneak a shoot on my property, this will result in a negative rating and/or loss of security deposit!
Please mention any relevant photography in your message, as I would require that we arrange a shoot outside of AirBnB. I use my properties as locations, so a location fee would be required, along with standard insurance, etc..
If you'd like to take a few casual snapshots on my property for strictly personal use, that's fine.
AMENITIES:
BRAND NEW TIPI on property! For hanging out & lounging!
Also featuring: outdoor bathtub, indoor stone shower, wireless internet, satellite television, outdoor firepit, HD flat screen TV with DVD player, DVD library, microwave, toaster oven, stove top, mini fridge, kitchen with cof...

FUN FACT: As featured in Cody Simpson's music video, "Love." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY5AmodX2Vg
LOCAL POINTS OF INTEREST:
AirBnB does a great job of covering Topanga! Check out their location guide here: https://www.airbnb.com/locations/los-angeles/topanga
Topanga State Beach is an 8 minute drive & Topanga State Park is about a 5 minute drive. In Topanga, there are many hiking trails, some with eight thousand year-old Indian caves & waterfalls.
Mimosa Cafe is the village coffee shop, which is a 10 minute hike down the hill. Just across the way from Mimosa, there is a natural foods store & a little mini market. Santa Monica & Malibu are a beautiful 15 minute drive along Pacific Coast Highway.
Suggested local restaurants would be Inn of the Seventh Ray, Froggy's & Cholada Thai food. Great restaurants in Malibu are Geoffrey's, Nobu Sushi & Cafe Habana.
The closest large grocery store is a Von's Market, located on Sunset Blvd. There's also a natural foods market & deli in Malibu, named PC Greens. Additionally, a local raw smoothie & juice bar has opened recently, about a 5 minute drive from my place called Fresh in Topanga!
PUBLIC TRANSIT:
there is no public transit in Topanga Canyon -- you will need a car! The closest public transit is the MTA line 534, which runs along Pacific Coast Highway.
TOPANGA WILDLIFE:
As Topanga is rural, I request that guests be aware & keep tidy while staying at the guest house. This helps me prevent raccoons from getting into dishes that are left outdoors, and to control ants. I do have the occasional ant issue in the kitchen after untidy guests leave dishes & food lying out, but I address the ants continually. Ants are a seasonal issue in Topanga, only coming out for the warmer months.

Absolutely loved Darrell's getaway and would reccommend it to anyone! The photos honestly don't give the listing justice; it's insanely beautiful in person. Darrell was extremely friendly and welcoming and even gave a bottle of wine and set up the fire upon arrival as I had a few friends stopping by to visit. Loved staying here and one day want to stay again, just for fun. If you're thinking about booking this place, go ahead and do it!

SierraJanuary 2015

We had a delightful time in Topanga, and staying with Darrell was a primary reason. He was an excellent host - there when you needed him and completely non-obtrusive. The yard up-hill from the cabin was a very special place as well. We are considering renting again just to have a party there some evening!

ClaudeNovember 2012

This getaway is amazing! We felt like we spent the weekend in the avatar forest. Darell is an incredible and caring host who only desires that you have a great time. If you want a perfect, romantic weekend this is the place. Thank you Darell for a perfect weekend! We will be back.

BrianJanuary 2014

Beautiful place, very romantic. Stairs can be a little challenging for those with knee problems. The night lights were awesome. As well as the outdoor bathtub and jacuzzi. And we were the first to enjoy the new leather auto reclining loveseat. Thank you Ken, we'll be back!

RHONDANovember 2014

Darrell has a little slice of heaven in Topanga. His place is truly amazing and so is he. Highly recommended for someone wanting to unwind and take in natures beauty. Looking forward to staying here again this summer.

MacyMarch 2016

Darrell's place was better than the pictures! He obviously takes great pride in this amazing property and it shows in every detail. We felt like we got away to some tropical island and we were only half an hour from home! Darrell is a welcoming host and made himself available for all our requests. Truly magical experience and we hope to be back regularly!

InnaMay 2015

Our two night getaway at Darrell's was amazing. First of all, the entire place was even better than the pictures portrayed. The surrounding nature gave it the most peaceful and beautiful vibe. The guest house was perfect for two, decorated to the fullest even down to the smallest detail. It had all the essentials we could need. I even managed to cook a number of meals in the cute kitchen. We were blown away and hardly wanted to leave the place once we arrived. It's private, quiet, and perfect for a comfy retreat. Darrell was welcoming and very accommodating. Definitely made the place our home away from home. He even suggested his favorite restaurants and local views. We took his advice on our second day and went to the the beautiful Malibu Creek State Park. Overall, Darrell and his lovely home gave us the best travel experience by far from start to finish. Thank you, Darrell ! I'd definitely go again !

A unique experience for the person who loves nature and vintage American icons. A little rustic, but vastly rewarding. Please read the entire listing and view an extensive photo library to determine if this venue meets your creature comfort quotient.

Perched on a hilltop with a magnificent 360 degree vista of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina, Santa Barbara Island and the Santa Monica Mountains, spend the evening watching the sunset over Boney Mountain as it fades to black. The stars come out by the millions- and you watch for comets and satellites passing overhead from the comfy Adirondack chairs.
You retire to the comfortable semi-restored interior of 'THE ALUMILODGE'- a 1957 AIRSTREAM 22 ft. FLYING CLOUD, and plug your iPod into the Bose Acoustimas sound system while opening a chilled bottle of local area wine you acquired on a vineyard tour. The dinette is set for a romantic dinner which you prepare in the onboard galley and gas stove. After another look at the Milky Way, you retire to the Queen size rear bed with quality linens and feather duvet- the fresh Pacific breeze lulling you to sleep in the silence broken only by the occasional owl 'hoot' or coyote howl in the distance. You awake to experience the sunrise with our French coffee press and another day in a paradise you can't imagine is so close, yet so far from Los Angeles.
The area also offers vineyard tours, wine tasting rooms, excellent restaurants, hiking/ biking the Backbone Trail, trail rides all within minutes.
Pool (seasonally) and internet hot spot available to guests.
WE ARE PET FRIENDLY. We charge an additional flat $15 cleaning fee per reservation payable in cash during your stay for pets.
****For Film & Photo Shoots Please Contact Hosts PRIOR to Booking****

DanielJuly 2014

Had a great time staying at the Airstream. Good location and beautiful views of the ocean and sunsets. Definitely would recommend to anyone.

KingleyMarch 2016

Great escape from everything! lots of nature and so relaxing. We loved staying this trailer :)

AyumiMay 2014

The stay was really nice and Murray was welcoming. A soft landing from our roadtrip before heading to busy LA. The area is rustic and green and the view is beautifull. You can relax there. If you're only staying for one night, do bring food so you don't waste time to go to shops.

StephanieMay 2015

The airstream is great! So beautiful day and night, great Malibu glamping! We brought the pooch to Leo Carillo beach and dried off by the airstream with the most perfect sunset! Thanks Murray and Kay!

PeterSeptember 2014

Exactly what I was looking for, privacy and isolation. Thanks!

DanielDecember 2014

What a great respite just an hour from DTLA. Beautiful sunset and sunrise and Murray answered all the questions that we had to make sure we had a great stay. Murray was very quick to respond to all the messages I sent before the checkin, and the Airstream was a perfect Birthday getaway for my wife.

SkyeJanuary 2016

Just as described - cozy, private and beautiful. Only issue was heater stopped producing heat in middle of night and there was no information on how to restart it (so it got quite cold). But with the extra blankets provided it was still a great and very unique experience.

We loved these people and their gorgeous guest house! Simon and Darla made our stay a perfect holiday at Venice Beach. They were very friendly, helpful and interesting to chat with. The guest house is a delight - ultra comfortable and a lovely space to chill out. Little touches like the TV being inside a wooden frame which can be turned around so you can watch TV in bed, made it very relaxing in the evening, and the day-bed in the glass room was perfect for morning coffee. We would definitely stay there again.

Great place, we really enjoyed our stay. The glass room and private patio are awesome. Thanks!

Good communication and great location. I liked it although in summer it would be a problem because the place doesn't have curtains. Also hardly place to keep clothes.

Amazing location! Nearby shops/restaurants and very close to the Venice beach boardwalk. We loved the glass patio, the space was very private and easy to access.

KellySeptember 2016

Quiet hideaway that felt very private and removed, but only steps from the best of Venice. Easy access and great spot.

Loved this place. Funny when we first arrived, we weren't sure we liked it. Perhaps because we had just came from the Marriott for a wedding, and this was a distinct change. But by morning we felt very settled in and at home and loved it and all it's funky oddities. For example, the walls are not all right angles, and the glass sitting room feels like you are living outside. I loved waking up in the morning and looking into the sitting room, feeling like we were sleeping in a jungle. This place has character, something that is sadly disappearing around Venice as prices go up and new houses replace old. We used the bikes a lot and road up and down the ocean front bike path to Manhattan Beach and past Santa Monica. We road them to the Santa Monica promenade and wandering around one day, then road back along the ocean. We never met our hosts, but any questions we had were answered within a short time frame. This is a great location where you can walk or bike easily to places such as the beach or Whole Foods. We only used the kitchen for breakfast and snacking but it was well equipped and things like sugar and olive oil, spices, and more are there so you don't have to buy this stuff for your time there. This place will not be for everyone because of its uniqueness and casual ambiance. There are cobwebs here and there, and the furniture has some wear but nothing bad. Also, when the windows are open, people in the units behind you sound like they are in your house. But noise (talking, singing, and once piano playing) was just brief with people occasionally coming and going, nothing that was disturbing or woke us. It was easy to find parking on the street. The street is residential but just a very short walk to Abbot Kinney. We also walked to the canals and wandered around, about a 10 minute walk away.

AMAZING location and beautiful setting! The solarium was the perfect spot to take a rest. Highly recommend to anyone staying in the area.

I and my family had really great time in Shawn's house, good location and really nice and clean as picture shown on the website, we will back again when next time in LA! Thanks again!

WaiFebruary 2016

This place is located in a very nice location, just few minutes near the Universal Studio, and the view of the house was spectacular. The designs of the house are more than just amazing, also Shawn is a very nice host, you can reach him easily and he will answer all of your questions.

6 of us came all the way to the Los Angeles to celebrate the10th anniversary of Kobe's 81 point game. When the time we found Shawn's house on Airbnb, we decided to rent it immediately. This house locate just near the Universal Studio, and the view of this house was awesome. Shawn is a nice host, he prepared 6 bottle water to us, and answered all my questions.

房源描述和图片都较为准确,离环球影城非常近所以地理位置理想。晚上的夜景也很美,房间打扫得很干净,总体来说非常不错。

ZhengMay 2015

The house is stunning! Recently updated and exactly as pictured. The location is great and convenient to get to just about anywhere in the greater LA area. There was one area in the neighborhood that confused even the local Uber drivers on their GPS, but if you're paying attention, it isn't complicated. The neighborhood is a quiet oasis away from the hustle and bustle; a short drive from the Hollywood sign and a great overlook of downtown and the ocean. Check in and check out was so simple and stress free! We were in town to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday a little early because she wanted to go to the Rose Parade and work on a float. She loved the house and enjoyed relaxing on the balconies.

DanielleJanuary 2016

Shawn was an excellent host! He was extremely attentive with our needs and provided us with everything we requested in a timely matter. Prior to contacting Shawn, I had reserved a home through a different "host." The host canceled and Shawn came through for us. I forgot to mention that the home was beautiful!!

Our vacation home is a jewel amidst the bustle of a 21st century lifestyle. With 180 degree ocean views and nothing but the waves gently splashing against the beach, it is a soothing adventure.

We are pleased to offer a Mediterranean style vacation Villa on Catalina island at the prestigious Hamilton Cove Luxury Resort. The Villa is in the most desireable location as it is a true endunit, it is not sandwiched in between other units but has Nature to the north side and only shares the south side with another Unit. You have Ocean and Nature views, it also has a Fireplace which makes for cozy evenings overlooking the ocean. Newly installed Bamboo flooring adds an island touch of luxury along with a designer couch which folds out into a very comfortable queen size bed and a designer leather chair with ottoman. The Villa boasts a very spacious and airy indoor outdoor style of living with 3 double doors (most 1 bedrooms do not have the extra Office/Den with the addtl. set of double doors) opening to a gorgeous balcony with breathtaking views.
The resort features 2 Tennis courts a pool, jacuzzi, Sauna, Gym, Volleyball court and croquet court. We also offer the use of our golf cart to get around the island.
We give our guests the privacy they are expecting but are ready to help in case you have any questions.

Catalina island and especially the Hamilton Cove resort is a extremely unique place in southern California, a place for nature to thrive and your soul to rebound. The island and the pictures speak for themselves.
We include a golf cart in the rental price which is the best way to get around the island. Please note that the golf cart is considered a free of use bonus to the rental but not a service which we are obligated to provide. In case of mechanical problems with the golf cart we are not obligated to supply a replacement. In case of any emergency please contact us immediately. You need to provide a valid Drivers license and proof of insurance in order to drive the golf cart. On Catalina island Golf carts are treated like regular cars, you have to obey traffic laws (complete stop at stop signs etc.) as the local police will enforce them. No more than 4 people are ever allowed at any given time to ride in the golf cart.
Thank you!

"The Big Blue" is a wonderful villa overlooking the Pacific. It is a cozy retreat just the right size for a couple. It is located in Hamilton Cove which is close to town, but far enough away to avoid the masses. The king sized bed was comfortable and area quiet. We very much enjoyed the deck for both dining and relaxing. Use of the golf cart is key as that is the absolute best way to explore the island. Upon arrival it had a flat tire, but Helmut arranged to have it repaired in about an hour. We would definitely consider renting this unit again. Thank you Jennessa & Helmut for the opportunity to enjoy your home.

KeithFebruary 2016

The place was lovely! Everything was very clean and some toiletries provided. Jessica and Helmut were very communicative and responsive from start to end! The golf cart was a nice bonus! We enjoyed our time at the Big Blue and would definitely stay here again!!

Would definitely recommend this place to anyone planning a trip to Catalina, I can't wait to go back myself! The condo is located a few minutes from town, I personally enjoyed the fact that it is in a private residential area because I was able to relax! The golf cart is definitely a plus to have because you don't have to be walking around or paying for a taxi every time you decide to go somewhere. My boyfriend and I were there for two nights, we used the golf cart plenty of times during our stay and it only took a few bucks to fill up the tank. We were hesitant to use it at first because we thought it would be expensive to fill up since we wanted go around the island but it wasn't bad at all! You'll definitely be saving money at the end of the day if you decide to use the golf cart! The view is amazing, the place is modern & clean. Very comfortable to stay at, everything about my experience was great!

ElianaJune 2015

We had a wonderful time in Catalina. It was easy to get to the condo and the check in directions were easy to follow. The condo is clean and spacious for 2 people. The view is breathtaking and we loved being able to use the pool, jacuzzi, gym and the golf cart. We didn't want to leave the condo once we were there, but had to get some food and wanted to explore the city. It was quiet, relaxing and rejuvenating. We will definitely be back!

LisaJune 2015

This was our first trip to Catalina and we can't wait to go back to the island and the Big Blue! The place is exactly as pictured and the views are even better. The amenities including beach access, pool, golf cart, and more, made the experience even better than expected.

JillNovember 2015

This place is absolutely superb!! We couldn't have been more comfortable there. The view is breathtaking. We all enjoyed sitting out on the porch, watching the boats come in and the seagulls fly around. To have a view of this magnitude is rare, and we soaked up every minute of it. This particular unit has an extra nook and my daughter was able to sleep very comfortable in it. Very convenient for a third party to use. I cook a fair amount and was able to use the kitchen with ease for both breakfast and dinner. The gym and pool were wonderful. Pool was not lap sized but you could still use it for a workout if you wanted. Gym is small but has 2 treadmills, 1 elliptical, 1 recumbent bike and 1 regular bike plus free weights, yoga ball and 2 separate weight stations. I used everything in the gym for 2 complete workouts during our 3 night stay. Avalon is a quick 10 minute drive via golf cart. We visited often, enjoying the shops and the wonderful ice cream at Olaf's. It was great to be able to experience the town and then sneak away for some down time in the condo. Jenessa & Helmut were easily accessible if we had questions, but they did a great job laying it all out so we didn't have much to ask. Highly recommend this place - it was wonderful!

AnnabelleAugust 2015

Everything was as described by Janessa and Helmut. My family and I had a priceless experience that will forever be remembered. Having the golf cart was extremely key. The island has a very unique charm which was easily enjoyed from the comfy Big Blue nest.

GabrielDecember 2015

The slideshow of the villa was beautiful & inviting and still didn't do it justice! The panoramic views were breathtaking, the rooms were lovely, and the amenities were as promised. The perfect getaway. Thank you, Jennessa & Helmut!
